OT Sticks May Be Racist

Dude all he’s doing is literally saying his body looks like a stick. And quite frankly it certainly does

 

Actually its doing a bit worse. Its false claiming, which is undermining to the actual movement against racism. If we start considering anythign offensive as racist, then the true racists will be able to swim freely through the chaos, rather than singled out correctly.

 

It is racist. As he said, referring to an historically oppressed people in a dehumanizing way is racist. Yes, many races can look similar but referring to black men who were brought to this country to slaves as a bundle of sticks is racist. I have to call it out when I see it. We all do.

 

He said a bundle of sticks. Completely different. Race matters. While calling a white man a stud, for instance, may seem one way but calling a black meman whose race was bred like animals and soled as slaves a stud is racist. Calling Joel Przybilla the vanilla gorilla may not be racist but calling, say, Patrick Ewing a gorilla is racist to the nth degree. See the difference?

 

Dude, you're out of your damn mind.

 

Typical racist response.

 

!!!
Don't call me racist just because I don't think characterizing skinny legs as twigs or toothpicks or whatever is racist. That's fucked up. Go ahead and be outraged over it, just know that you're wrong. Have fun.

 

Sometimes it's not about you, Eric.

 

Just watching the new Last Chance U on NETFLIX........ these two brothers on the team said their nicknames from the other players and coaches is Stick & Pole because they are so skinny......NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK!

 

Now I'm confused. Would it be racist to ask a black man if he likes his coffee black? Cause Eric just listed some things that could then be extended to many many things in life....

Shit, some mod should move all this irrational racist bs to an OT thread. Use me as a starter for all I care. LOL.



Anyhow. Screw the NBA. This is a Blazers forum and we be crushin on Friday!

 

No. I like Black coffee. So my natural question when serving would likely be " Would you like it Black or with Flavor?"

But see Coffee isn't technically black. Its brown. So Eric has me wondering how many things in every day life should I be considering racist or potentially racist. I mean he knows more than another Black person who said he didn't think it was racist...

So Eric must know for sure and so I'm thinking I should probably take heed and head off at the pass any other potential racist statements he may feel is racist.

 

But now. . If I say. Would you like Brown coffee. Would that be racist against Mexicans, Spanish and anyone else of tanned, olive, or brown skin?

 

Oh boy now it really is OT!

 

Oh I no. And I'm messing with Eric, because he is being out of his mind and his crying( now that we ar in the OT the gloves can come off, lol) about this being a racist remark takes away form the fight against actual racism in my opinion.

Gotta pick and choose our battles and make sure context is taken into consideration when calling out racism in this fashion. Being falsely accused a racist can be very damaging, just like rape, so me personally, I don't take it lightly.

He has me on ignore anyhoe, so it isn't going anywhere. P

 

You confused racism with body shaming.

Now you are doubling down.

Haha

Keep digging that hole. I can use some entertainment.

 

And that's exactly my point.

We can start to twist most things in life into racist comments.

Eric should apologize to Rasta. It was an irrational judgment to claim he was making a racist comment.

 

Annd Heeerrree We GOO!!!!!!!

HAHA
